Bring back TDL?

[Jewels]

Name another occasion over the last 5 years where we have lost to a side who were more out of form than Adelaide were.

I think you answered your own question as to how Adelaide beat us. Yes, they have been pathetically out of form but how many of those players would have wanted to be a part of breaking the record they were going for on Saturday? Add to that the huge axe hanging over Neil Craigs head and there's some pretty good motivation right there.
As far as bad losses go, no need to look further than the butchers job we did with a 30+ pt lead V Richmond last year and (in my opinion) the worse loss we've had in a while, the Dees last year.
I'm not debating the fact that it was a game we should have won and it was a pathetic display by us in front of the big sticks, but I don't think it was the biggest humiliation in five years, not even the most humiliating of the weekend, ours wasn't within a bulls roar of the Tiges.

"Bring back TDL or we'll drink some UDL!"

Hmm, not very catchy is it?

Being named in the best list yesterday is a good start - I suppose the next step is if he can stop getting these unexpected 'injuries' in the days leading up to team selection..

These are necessarily my views, just a few suggested phrases - coz I like rhyming, and it's Monday...

"No Dennis-Lane. Is Horse insane?"
"Team gone lame? Call Trent Dennis-Lane."
"Trent Dennis-Lane treatment inhumane."
"Trent Dennis-Lane = opposition pain."
"Club with a brain poaches Trent Dennis-Lane."
"Still no Toddle? What a load of twaddle."
"Swans waddle without Toddle."

Darn! I was just rushing over here to announce I'd found that page! Oh well. I did "like", of course.

If he doesn't get picked this week it must be because he has already signed or has planned out a contract with GWS, not because of defensive pressure the coaches keep telling us.

Also he will not be the hero goal kicking machine we need, the team need much much much better skills and delivery into the forward 50

Time to reconstruct a Forward line! Leave out White,Everitt and keep Bevan in the reserves as a reserve Forward in case of injury.Lets reconstruct it around Spangher,Pyke,TDL,Reid, Mc Glynne,Mac Veigh. Lets keep these guys in and find the right position for them and we might actually score enough goals to beat some good sides. This has been a frustrating year as we have got a good list of players.

Surely you can't leave him out if he isn't in there to begin with?

Cute-but i do like the idea of staging a small peaceful protest outside the Swans offices at the SCG with a pile of UDLs and someone to run paniced into the selection teams office crying
"OH no she/they have substandard drinks and are not afraid to consume them-for the love of of all things boozy please just select TDL"
" NOOOO they've started on the orange flavor-oh the humanity"
"NOOOO someone has a guitar"
"This could all have been prevented with one little selection choice"
"NOOO"

"What-you have selected TDL?"
"oh-ok we'll just go away now"


People really shouldn't let me get bored

The axe has been over his head for two months. Adelaide have beeen @@@@house for those two months, except for Saturday night when we played them into form.

Richmond and Melbourne last season weren't as bad as Adelaide this season.

Disagree - as much as they are just excuses, had it been fine and they had kicked straight, it could have been totally different against Adelaide ... Dees last year was just total ineptitude and they never looked vaguely in the contest against Melbourne

Might work.

Does anybody know if the dog is still alive??

[Sidney V]

Yes the dog is still alive - recovering in a Sydney Vet with stitches due out this Friday.

I'm all for giving The Spang a go in the seniors but not ready to back building our forward line around him. Keen to have a look.
I hope TDL has done all he needs to in order to challenge for a spot.

[Velour&Ruffles]

For fornication's sake, the fornicating guy can kick straight. Put him in the fornicating forward line and give him a fornicating go.

That's the smartest avoidance of the swear filter I've ever seen. You will of course need to be banned. Rules are Rules.

Copulate Off.

[Bloody Hell]

I'm still waiting for someone to vote no.

I'm unsure about the unsure.
